Not a day goes by that I don't think of my dear friend and guitar teacher Peter.I have his record hanging in my music studio as well as other things that remind me of him. The long talks about music and life could never be filled again by anyone else. The days growing up and learning classical guitar will forever live on in my heart.

To the Prisco family, my deepest condolences and sorrows. I was a student of Mr. Prisco's for a couple of years, just wanted to let you know he was a great man and guitarist. I lost touch with him the last couple of years and was thinking of resumeing my lessons and looked him up today 4/22/19. I will miss him greatly and will think of him every time I pick up my guitar. He was great fun and i learned a lot from him. I sure am shocked and very saddened of his passing.May we meet again my...

I too was in the Sea class of '73. Peter was my first introduction to much new music, new thoughts, and a more open way of looking at life. He challenged me to grow--and thanks to him, and my other wonderful teachers at Sea, I remain liberal, to this day. Thank God! My sympathy to his wonderful family and friends,
